What Have I Learned So Far? Write True if the statement is true. If false, change the underlined word or phrase to make the statement true. 1. Charles Darwin coined the term "survival of the fittest." 2. Fossils can be used in determining the remains of ancient organisms. 3. Geology is the study of the distribution of plants and animals on Earth. 4. Lamarck proposed the theory of use and disuse. 5. Genetic mutation accounts for evidence of evolution. 6. The theory of acquired characteristics is the concept of Wallace. 7. Vestigial organs are structures that have a particular use before but have no particular purpose for existing animals. The similarities of the embryos of vertebrates indicate a common 8. ancestral domain among them. Biochemical evidence does not provide a solid proof of evolution. 9. 10. Anatomy of animals can be used as evidence of evolution.
